Around/about Central Georgia

Georgia College hires second head volleyball coach

          Gretchen Krumdieck resigned in April to pursue option in her hometown of Cincinnati.

 

Late rally lifts Macon

          A sacrifice fly and a wild pitch led to two runs in the bottom of the seventh and a 9-7 win for Macon over visiting Lexington County.

          Manny Jackson walked, advanced on a walk and wild pitch, and came in with the lead run on Antonio Brown’s sac fly. Connor Hill, who had walked and advanced on a wild pitch and that fly, scooted home on a wild pitch for insurance.

          The top of the ninth was interrupted only by a hit batter by winning pitcher Logan Wash, who went four innings in relief.

          Macon, which won despite being outhit 9-5, is at High Point on Sunday, and then is off until hosting Lexington County on Friday.
